Debrief: The Subway variables and outcomes.
Timeline:
- 6:50 AM: Started moving
- +1h: Found our pace
- +5h: Turnaround/destination
- Conditions: Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 4/5.
Bottom line: Do not trust parking to work out.
Days like this are why I hike.
